The 3.6-magnitude quake may have caused havoc in the Pacific Ocean, off the south Orange County coast. But on land? Not very much.
According to a preliminary assessment from the United States Geological Survey, the temblor occurred 32 miles south-southwest of Dana Point, 32.5 miles from San Clemente, and 34.9 miles from Laguna Beach.
A USGS map shows that minor shaking occurred in some areas along the Orange County shoreline, including Long Beach.
Two lesser earthquakes occurred before the larger one.
Around 4:11 p.m., a 3.1-magnitude earthquake struck the same area, followed by another of 2.5 magnitude, according to the USGS website.
